Student Leadership


With so many leadership opportunities available at Dunn, every student can find his or her niche. In an atmosphere that encourages all to reach outside their comfort level to better themselves and the community, Dunn's student leaders instill clear expectations and a compassionate network of support in the classroom, on the athletics fields, and in the dormitories.

Student Government

Student Government is an avenue for all members of the community to influence the governing values and institutions of Dunn School. The Student Government consists of elected council members and class officers who, under the guidance of a faculty advisor, review and set policy regarding student ethics and expectations. The President of the Student Body leads an Executive Committee comprised of an elected Legislative Vice President and Administrative Vice President, and an appointed Chief Justice. The rest of the governing body includes elected Class Senators, Senators at Large, and a Day Student Senator.


Senior Prefect Program

The Senior Prefect program dates back to the founding days of the school and was initiated by founder Tony Dunn following the English boarding school practice of the day. Prefects serve as active student leaders in the dormitories and around campus. Their responsibilities are to serve as role models of Dunn School's code of honor and ethics among students and faculty. Prefect candidates are identified by faculty during freshman, sophomore, and junior years and then elected by the student body at the end of their junior year. They meet at the end of the summer before senior year to bond, set goals for the year, and establish their motto.

House Council

Members of the house council work with residential faculty to address issues surrounding residential life of the boarding community.
